Dutch term or phrase: kim
I thought a kimlaag was a foundation course, so what is it in these contexts (0 ghits!)

Tegelvloeren c.q. -wanden waterdicht opleveren, zo nodig met behulp van eenvoorgeplakte vloerkim

AND something completely different

De windbelastingsberekening t.b.v. het bepalen van het aantal en patroon van de bevestigingspunten c.q. de dikte van de ballastlaag en de grootte van kimfixatievlakken

Explanation:
My wisdom comes from Kluwer's Polytechnisch Woordenboek.
"kim" is defined there as => edge, rim, chime, horizon (also an edge), skyline, or in the case of shpping as "bilge". I think edge fits best in your context.

Seems to be 'roof edge' in one context, and connection between floor and wall in the other, Thanks for your help.
